Butcher & The Boar will honor its beloved roots, while spreading new ones in the fresh foundation that will help our guests embark on a journey with notes of nostalgia that carry the torch forward with new tastes and experiences.

A great dinner out on the Paw-tio. And though no dog in town, it was fun to puppy watch, watch the CFB playoff game, and have the fireplace close by to keep us extra cozy. Keith, our server. Was both fun and engaging. He let us know what was good and great, the specials for the day, and did not steer us wr9ng. Best boneless wings in town - more chicken than bread, and more flavor than saucing. The Pear mocktail was a delight. And my wife's standard honey pecan salad, chicken grilled not fried, was filling and tasty. Our son loved his chicken tenders and veggies, but kept his eye on the prize - Scoo y Snacks! Great meal, great local spot, great service!

First time here. Very well prepared food. Service was on point. Drinks and wine selection are extensive and delicious. The space is kind of strange layout. Value was not great but still fantastic meal.
